QPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 319,634, dated June 9, 1885.

Application filed March 27, 1885.

T alt whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MOSES SOLINGER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Oalendering Paper, of which the followingis a specification.

This invention has reference to certain im provements in machines for calendering paper by which the calenderingrolls can beadjusted in a very accurate manner to the exact per hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation, partly in section, of my improved machine for calendering paper and other fabrics. Fig. l is a detail side view of one of the indicating devices for registering the degree of adjustment of the rolls; and Fig. 2 is an end elevation, partly in section, of my improved calendering-machine.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents the support in g-standards of my improved machine for calendering paper or other suitable fabrics, and B B B the calenderingrolls, which are located vertically above each other. The bearings b of the lower roll, B, are not made ad justable and supported at the lower parts of the vertical recesses of the standards A A. The bearings b b of the rolls B 13, however,

are made adjustable in the recesses of the standards A A, and provided with threaded sockets at their lower parts, and the bearings b b with plain sockets, having washers at their upper parts. The sockets of the bearings b b and 1/?) are connected by short'vertical shafts d d, that are threaded at their upper ends, so as to take into the screw-sockets at the lower ends of the bearings b b. To the short vertical shafts are applied worm-wheels d, that (No model.)

mesh with worms d of horizontal shafts d'*, which latter turn in bearings of the standards A A, as shown in Fig. 1. Vertical shafts e turning in bearings of the standards mesh by a bevel-gearing, e, at their lower ends, with the horizontal shafts d, and by a second bevel-gearing, 6 at their upper ends, with.transverse horizontal shafts ff, that are supported in bearings of the upperparts of the standards A, and provided with hand-wheels f If at both ends for being conveniently turned in either direction. The vertical shafts e 6, horizontal shaft (2 short connecting-shafts d d, and the transmitting gears e e d d are arranged at both ends of the rolls BB and standards A A, and operated simultaneously by the transverse top shafts,ff. By the motion-transmitting shafts and gearings the short vertical shafts d (I are turned in one or the other direct-ion, so as to raise or lower the bearings of the calendering-rolls B B and adjust them thereby to the required distance from each other, according tothe thickness of the paper or other fabric to be calendered by the rolls.

To regulate the accurate adjustment of the calenderingrolls B B and B B to the exact distance required, an indicating mechanism is arranged for each roll B and B, which consists ofa fulcrumed pointer, g, having a toothed segment, g, which meshes with aworm, 9 on the vertical shaft 6, as shown in Fig. 1. The turning of the shaft e moves the pointer 9 along a fixed arc-shaped graduation, g and indicates thereon the nicest adjustment of the rolls.

7 In place of the simple mechanism shown in Fig. 1, intermediate gear-wheels, {ff/ may be interposed between the worm g" and the segment 9, as shown in Fig. 1. This mechanism is more sensitive than the former, owing to the intermediate gear-wheels, g 9 so that even the slightest adjustment of the rolls toward each other is indicated thereby.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secu re by Letters Patent 1. The combination of supporting stand ards, calenderingrolls having bearings guided in said standards, short vertical shafts engaging, respectively, plain and threaded sockets of said bearings, worm-gears on said vertical shafts, horizontal wormshaft, vertical shafts, transverse top shafts, and bevel-gears between the vertical and worm shafts, so as to adjust simultaneously the bearings at both ends of In testimony that I claim the foregoing as the calendering-rolls, substantially asset'forth. my invention I have signed my name in pres- 2.
